Joe Lombardo purchased a marina on 12 acres of land along Florida's Crystal River in 1986 for $1 million. A year later, the state claimed that the marina, originally built in the 1960s, was not his because it was located on state-owned land.

Although Lombardo's property had been deeded over by the state of Florida to private owners more than 90 years ago, the state claims that was a mistake and wants the land back. Lombardo's property, officials argue, was state sovereignty land and should never have been sold to private owners. They are demanding the Lombardo property without offering any form of compensation.
